UOPD Sergeant Scott Geeting takes a leg of the Special Olympics Oregon Law Enforcement Torch Run on July 10 at 1 p.m., along with Eugene Police officers, along Highway 99 from the Randy Pape Beltline to Green Hill Road.

The state Special Olympics Summer Games kick off July 13 at Newberg High School. As a fund-raiser for Special Olympics, in the days before the games begin, law enforcement officers from across the state carry the torch from the Oregon-California border north to the games site.
